I can't find much info on this topic, so I'm wondering if anyone knows how to get broken shadeds? Meaning Smoke Pearl and Sable - there are none around here at the moment. I might find one at the convention which would be great, but if I don't, what would be an acceptable substitute? There are lots of broken black otters around, but how would that work getting bred with a sable/SSP? Does it matter? Will you end up with SSP/sable brokens or just black otter brokens? I was thinking broken black would probably work better, but please any input would greatly help me here! Thanks!
 
If you cannot find a broken shaded you should look for a broken with a shaded parent. If you cannot find that then a broken with a himilayan or Red Eyed White parent would work.

If you still cannot find one then breed a shaded to any broken and keep a broken kit to breed back to the shaded parent and you should start getting broken shadeds and will need to breed out undesirable colours like tan and extension
 
Ok, thank you very much, Dood! I think I will hold out until the convention just in case somebody has a good one there, but I wanted to have a back up plan, plus better understand how it works.

From the few things I've found to read up on the actual color breeding of brokens it's suggested that you breed a broken to the same color. So Smoke Pearl Broken to Smoke Pearl, but that doesn't make a lot of sense when you're talking shaded, so I would figure it would work the same way as it does with shadeds, with broken smoke to siamese sable if anything? Is that correct?

Thanks again!
 
There are dozens of shaded colours, if you want a specific one then you should focus on that colour.

Seals can be from the dark shaded (AKA chinchilla) gene, siamese sable and smoke pearl are full extension while sable and blue points are non extension - so pick a type and stick with it.

Broken is dominant so statistically a broken will always have broken kits and it cannot hide so adding it to a bloodline is rather easy.
 
Breeding shaded to the otters will tend to get you martens. In many breeds martens are acceptable,.
